Fertility >40

[Memez]

In panic mode. For the past 6 months my period was bang on 33days which was unusual but I thought a good thing. This month all of a shot day17& 18 break through spotting / bleed but just for those two days. Light bulb moment I think its perimenopause. I have had the worst weight issue since my son was born 2yrs ago and every week or month trying to motivate to lose it but my motivation never lasts. I have two frozen embryos that I have well in my head at least trying to motivate myself to get even close to a point where it would be ok at a certain weight. I'm 42 now an panicking that I have left it too late to implant my last 2.

No don’t panic, the important part is the eggs which you already have frozen.

Women up to 50 and post menopausal have success with previously frozen embryos so the uterus part is much less affected by age it seems.

With FET, they stop you ovulating and take over your cycle with hormones anyway so honestly I really don’t think you should panic. Obviously I’m no expert and talk to your clinic but please don’t panic. Best of luck with everything going forward 🍀🍀

It's definitely not too late to implant your frozen embryos. Lots of women your age and older have proven successful with it. Try not to worry too much and go back to your clinic to discuss ways on going about the transfer. Good luck and lots of baby dust to you!

Hi Memez. Ali I can say is that I speak to lots of ladies in their forties, some natural pregnancies and some following treatment. Many go on to have successful births and happy babies, so hopefully you will join them. Good luck. Diane

Hi, I think I am in a similar position to you with age and periods changing, I am doing IVF with donor eggs and my clinic don’t seem worried, they just control my cycle with drugs x
